Jimi Hendrix

[shysnale]

I never never understood why so many people gave Hendrix the best credit ever. I mean I tried to listen to some of his stuff, ok, it's not bad, but I would never call him the best player ever as Malmsteen, Satriani and so many other does. What's wrong with me ? Am I deaf ? When I'm listening to the Who, the Stones, then ok, they have left their mark, and today's music probably wouldnt be the same without them, but Hendrix......please help me understand...

Don't feel bad. I never understood why he was so over the top either. There are far too many tastes in music to understand why any one person could rise to such fame. But then again, many people have never understood the appeal of Elvis either.

It's good to know I'm not the only one.
You know I agree we owe a lot to our elders.
If the black people didn't come up with the blues back to slavery times, then Chuck Berry or Jerry Lee Lewis could never have found the essential roots for the first rock'n'roll songs, then 80% of what we hear on the radio today would remain as a dream..

When I'm listening to 50's rock'n'roll, it really touches me. I can feel the newness, the freshness of it, even as a hard rock fan. But hendrix....I don't know...it sounds marshmallow to me...sometimes I wonder if as music fans we are getting 'mind control' influences by those music history folks that try to tell us what we are capable or not capable to enjoy....

I steer clear of the too now, but believe it or not, my teenage daughter and her boyfriend are into them. They have been having me download some of their music. I really never figured that music would come back around again, but seems it has.

Try again, Iron Butterfly did "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida". Mountain did Missippi Queen.

And FYI, the song was originally suppose to be "In the Garden of Eden", but the writer was dead drunk when his bandmates asked "what's the song called?", and "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" came out. They liked it better and it stuck after he sobered up.

I usually run about 12 laps around a park lake. Come home dead sweaty, and tired, and that is about it.
And listen and get completely zonked out.

[TheOpportunist]

If you don't consider Led Zeppelin and/or Pink Floyd great, I have to wonder wether you like rock and if you do, what do you consider to be 'great'?

Hendrix was great because he was a groundbreaker; even if malsteem is good technically, he wouldn't have been as good if he didn't have Jimi and Uli's shoulders to stand on.

OK virgin, you obvously have never seen them live; I have; granted it was minus Roger Waters but it was still the same sound. They're spot on with the sound of there music transferred from cd to stage perfomance. I loved it and this was in 1993, there last tour. David Gilmour has beautiful guitar licks. It was in Tampa Stadium and it was standing room only. There were some serious stoners there and I was one of them; at that time. I love Page as well, he was also a pioneer on guitar, from the yardbirds to Zeppelin he was great. As far as the radio stations whoring Floyd, well, radio stations tend to play whatever draws the listeners. I don't listen to radio much at all, as it's the same song every hour on the hour. I only like one song by Joplin, Take another piece of my heart, that's it. She's not my cup'o tea, but she has influenced many females and probably males too. I like Chrissy Hines/the Pretenders, Pat Benatar, Heart, Fleetwood Mac, some Joan Jett/the Runaways, and the Cranberries. There are probably other females that I would like but just not familiar with. Not arguing or disagreeing with you just wanted to point out that Floyd has a very Large fan base. :D ;)

Agreed. People have gone beyond what Hendrix first did, as is inevitable, but keeping time in perspective, hendrix went light years beyond what everyone else was doing at the time.

In my teens I immersed myself in classic rock and (good) heavy metal music (no hair bands). These days I listen mostly to hard-rock alternative (you can only live in the past for so long), but still throw on Zeppelin, Floyd, and Iron Maiden once in a while. Experiencing the foundations of hard rock/heavy metal allows you to better appreciate what is being done today.

Now imagine what Hendrix would be doing today; with the technology much better in the recording studios and much more effects for guitars, wow! Iron Maiden was my first concert, I won tickets when I was 15. Loud, is what I remember most. I grew up listening to classic rock; when I was 5 and even younger than that, I can remember hearing the Stones, the Who, Ted Nugent, Zeppelin, the Beatles, Aerosmith, the Eagles, and Queen those are some of the bands I was hearing at a young age. Since 1980 and the Mtv era began the level of music has dropped; no comparison to the 60's or 70's
style or talent, overall. I would say only a small handful of 80's bands tried or came close to bringing the music to the level of the 60's and 70's; early Def Leppard, Pat Benatar, the Pretenders, (technically 70's band), U2, John Cougar Melloncamp, Guns'N Roses, Skid Row had a moment and a few songs, and Tesla. Ratt had a few good rock songs also. Beyond that everything was geared towards the rockstar look and the lifestyle of sex, drugs, and rock-n-roll but the music suffered. Groupies, drugs, and making money were more important than a quality product. The grunge era brought a bit of the classic rock style back, in more of a punk/noise kind of way but I enjoyed Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains (best of the grunge bands), and Soundgarden. Then you had a mix in the mid-to-late 90's with some heavier bands like Korn, Disturbed, Godsmack, and the rap/rock fusion bands like Limp biskut, Linkin' Park, and even the Red Hot Chilli Peppers fall into that category; and Eminem. (pure rap) I'm not a big fan of rap, just isn't really music to me; though I like some Eminem for the humor. I don't know what new bands are hot right now as I don't listen to the radio much at all and I don't watch Mtv, except for the show Punk'd and DeathMatch. That's another thing Mtv has gone way off of what it originally started out to be; so has Vh1. (but who cares about them because all they played was Kenny G and Michael Bolten) I actually enjoy a few of their reality shows much more than those two bozo's. I'm sure music will change dramatically again but I don't know if will be for the better? Only time will tell. Party on dudes! :D

As a hard rock/ heavy metal dude, I'm been told 'Without hendrix, your music wouldn't' be around.

Ok.
As I said before, we owe a lot to our elders.
The black people came up with the blues back to slavery times, allowing folks like Chuck Berry to find the roots for rock'n'roll. If these guys weren't around, then ok, my precious hard rock/heavy metal would remain as a dream. When people talk about hard rock roots, they mention the first English Hard Rock bands like Black Sabbath & Judas Priest. Do you really think these guys sound anything like hendrix ? I've heard interviews of Priest's KK Downing lead guitar and he said they come from Birmingham England which is an industrial town. He said 'you could always hear the big hammering factory sound, and I think our influences are coming from that'. It is also interesting to notice that Black Sabbath comes from the same town ! I mean what is Sabbath ? It's rock'n'roll + some dark lancinating melodies. What is JUdas Priest ? It's rock'n'roll + fast hammering victorious melodies. I don't see Hendrix here.

Look at it this way : Punk Rock first came in England with The Sex Pistols in 1977. What is punk rock? It's rock'n'roll + the spirit of Brits suffering from the conservative mentality England was in back then. When did rock'n'roll first start ? Back in the fifties.

Now, I said the Pistols came in 1977. You will probably agree the biggest musical influence before 1977 was the Beatles. When you listen to 'Anarchy in the UK', does it make you feel like you wanna walk on a Strawberry Field Forever? The pistols just took rock'n'roll at its roots (fifties) and add their anger for Puritanism to it. They made a jump from the fifties to their lives without crossing Hendrix. This proves musical styles are not always completing each other.

WRONG!!!! Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, so wrong! Self-centered europeans, figuring all the new sounds MUST come for the UK or Euro mainland. British punk rock would have amounted to jack shit had it not been for a show at The Roundhouse (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Roundhouse) on July 4th, 1976, where The Ramones (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramones) opened for the Flamin' Groovies. The Ramones took the bubble gum rock and roll of the 60's to a new extreme, and ignited a spark in the UK. In addition to the Sex Pistols who were in attendance (and, legend has it, pissed in The Ramones beer backstage 'cause it was the "Punk" thing to do), members of the Clash and The Damned were also in attendance and heavily influenced from what they saw. Credit where credit is due, Snale.

Credit where credit is due, Snale.

Maybe but the Ramones are not really Hendrix influenced anyway, are they ? You know this 'logic' (who was the first) can be endless. It reminds me of some verbal fights I went through with people saying the very first hard-rock players were Richie Blackmore (Deep Purple) & Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin). True Zep was around before what's recognized as the first hard-rock album (Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath) back in 1969. But when I'm listening to them, I feel more like an old rock band or an extension of some of the Who's psychidelic stuff than hard rock music. This could take us back to the never ending debate about giving labels to music styles, but I'm open for it. Yes this is a rape-board, but it is also the Idle Talk, isn't it ?

Do you consider Purple's 'Smoke on the water' a heavy song ?

[Sodoman]

I was never introduced to the underground bands that are mentioned on this board; I wish I had been. Though I've been influenced and had a love for music since I was in diapers. I don't consider Hendrix to be the greatest musician ever but a whole lot of people/guitarists have been inflluenced by him. The songs I like by him are Fire, Stone Free, Hey Joe, and Crosstown Traffic. I just think his style was way ahead of its time. As far as the Malmsteens of the world are concerned, well, I don't think Malmsteen is that great and I have videos of the G3 concert with Malmsteen, Satriani, and Vie. I've only heard 5 guitarists that use speed as a style of play that I would give a lot of credit to: Eddie Van Halen, Joe Satriani, James Hettfield (Metalica), Randy Rhoads (Ozzy), and Chris Oliva (Savatage). These 5 guitarists use speed but still keep the harmonic and melodic sound of the notes they play. I could have mentioned Stevie Ray Vaughn, David Gilmore, and Brian May but these guys used finesse rather than speed to produce there beautiful sounds. Well to each his/her own and I think we all have very good musical tastes. Especially since music is designed to make the listeners respond in a positive emotional way. (Also designed for the record companies and musicians to make millions of dollars) I can't blame the artists for taking the money; just like actors, it's the fans who make them rich. However I can blame the record companies for allowing the quality of good music to drastically drop in the last 30 years; especially when Mtv came along. Now a musician has to look pretty to be successful, total bullshit. Well peace, love, and music to all.

[Sodoman]

ShySnale, I know you asked Virginfantasy about Smoke on the Water but I just wanted to add my two cents. I think it was a heavy song for the time it came out. However in the last 30 years it is not even close to heavy from a instrumental point of view. Now I do consider the lyrics to be of a much better quality than most of the shit in the last 30 years; not all lyrics; just a lot of lyrics. OK, that was just my two cents, hope I didn't intrude.

The empty sidewalks on my block are not the same
You're not to blame

From deep inside the tears that I'm forced to cry
From deep inside the pain that I chose to hide

Just walk away Renee
You won't see me follow you back home
Now as the rain beats down upon my weary eyes
For me it cries

Just walk away Renee
You won't see me follow you back home
Now as the rain beats down upon my weary eyes
For me it cries

Your name and mine inside a heart upon a wall
Still finds a way to haunt me, though they're so small

Just walk away Renee
You won't see me follow you back home
The empty sidewalks on my block are not the same
You're not to blame

Probably my all time favorite lyric to finish off a song...

Joey stepped up on a block of ice
with a rope around his neck.

Fell asleep before he died.

[Rheostatic]

No, I very much esteem your thoughts, besides, I loved Throbbing Gristle.

AAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
(snort)
(chortle, chortle)

To let everyone in on the inside joke, the first song I ever heard from Throbbing Gristle was "Hamburger Lady", about a woman burned from the waist up.

Considering the special meat marinade Gal4 has made reference to in the past few weeks, I found this post to be particularly amusing.

You're one in a million, Gal4, and believe it or not, I actually mean that in a good way.

[virginfantasy]

yes i agree with sodoman- for the time it came out, "smoke..." was a very riff heavy song. the guitar on that song still gets me today. i think its still one of the heaviest tunes ive ever laid ears on. the opening riff, then the drums coming in, then the bass-oh that song gives me shivers.

[shysnale]

I was never introduced to the underground bands that are mentioned on this board; I wish I had been. Though I've been influenced and had a love for music since I was in diapers. I don't consider Hendrix to be the greatest musician ever but a whole lot of people/guitarists have been inflluenced by him. The songs I like by him are Fire, Stone Free, Hey Joe, and Crosstown Traffic. I just think his style was way ahead of its time. As far as the Malmsteens of the world are concerned, well, I don't think Malmsteen is that great and I have videos of the G3 concert with Malmsteen, Satriani, and Vie. I've only heard 5 guitarists that use speed as a style of play that I would give a lot of credit to: Eddie Van Halen, Joe Satriani, James Hettfield (Metalica), Randy Rhoads (Ozzy), and Chris Oliva (Savatage). These 5 guitarists use speed but still keep the harmonic and melodic sound of the notes they play. I could have mentioned Stevie Ray Vaughn, David Gilmore, and Brian May but these guys used finesse rather than speed to produce there beautiful sounds. Well to each his/her own and I think we all have very good musical tastes. Especially since music is designed to make the listeners respond in a positive emotional way. (Also designed for the record companies and musicians to make millions of dollars) I can't blame the artists for taking the money; just like actors, it's the fans who make them rich. However I can blame the record companies for allowing the quality of good music to drastically drop in the last 30 years; especially when Mtv came along. Now a musician has to look pretty to be successful, total bullshit. Well peace, love, and music to all.
Yeah you're right technicality, I mean the ability to play very fast solos is not a quality proof. You gotta keep up the melodic aspect. That's why a song like Satriani's 'Crushing Day' is so good because he can spend a long time soloing and never have you bored. Malmsteen was capable to do that in his first records, but then he started to reach some sort a of a musical vasectomy, everything he wrote sounded empty. He did not reinvent himself. Yeah I enjoy most of the players you mentionned, Randy Rhoads was unique. The solo in Ozzy's Mr Crowley is almost a 'mini-song'. Talking about Metallica, I'm suprised you mentionned Hetfield. You probably meant Kirk Hammet, because Hetfied never play any solo part. Actually yeah he did the solo in 'Nothing else matter' but it sounded crappy. Everything Metallica did after the album 'And justice for all' is crappy anyway.

[shysnale]

ShySnale, I know you asked Virginfantasy about Smoke on the Water but I just wanted to add my two cents. I think it was a heavy song for the time it came out. However in the last 30 years it is not even close to heavy from a instrumental point of view. Now I do consider the lyrics to be of a much better quality than most of the shit in the last 30 years; not all lyrics; just a lot of lyrics. OK, that was just my two cents, hope I didn't intrude.
Hi Sodoman.

You did not intrude at all and you rose a good point : What sounded heavy back then may sound softy today. I think we should try to define what's heavyness. Be heavy probably doesn't mean be fresh or original, the beattle were original back then but you can't call them heavy, were the Pistols heavy when they said on radio interview 'The Queen Elizabeth has a dick' ? Is the heavy atitude just about trying to provok reactions, to move people, make them think, or just shock them....the tricky thing is that good heavy bands like Iron Maiden are heavy in a subtle way, their riffs are very catchy. The violence you get with the pistols is not the same violence you get with Ac/DC....which one is heavier.....I can't figure out....

[shysnale]

An interesting response I've got from a music forum about why Hendrix got so much credit : :


---

Hendrix was the first ever "soloist" to play guitar in that "super-charged over the top psychedelic blues" style...using LOTS of whammy bar, controlled feedback, outrageous (for the time) effects, etc..

A lot of Hendrix's mystique was in his unorthodox way of playing the guitar and the sexual vibe he had going on when he played..he also had huge hands that made his playing look effortless.

Without Jimi Hendrix there would be no Malmsteen, Satriani, Vai, Santana, SRV, Uli Roth, EVH, etc, etc...The list goes on and on.

Oh yes, and Shysnale, you must also remember when listening to his music that the time was 1966-1970!

I was 8 years old in 1970 and I was too young to remember when Hendrix first came on the scene. But I figure it must have been kinda like when I first heard Van Halen's S/T debut in 1978.....F**king AWESOME!

Disclaimer: I don't claim to be the "authority" on Jimi Hendrix...The above post is just my opinion of why Hendrix gets so much credit.

Maybe Hendrix had a great stage presence. Perhaps seeing him live helps enjoying his music......

i say ac/dc is heavier!! the pistols were just loud and obnoxious. ac/dc's songs are drenching with riffs and theyre just plain heavy. there's a difference between heavy and just loud.
for example, say you asked who was heavier, pistols or zeppelin. nearly everyone would say LZ, because of the band theyre being compared to.
the sex pistols.......oh my........*laughs*........they dont hold a candle to ac/dc!!
long live Bon

I mentioned Hettfield because I've always heard, much to my surprise since Kirk Hammett was taught by Satriani, that Hettfield was the one doing all the lead riffs. If it is Kirk then that is who I mean. I agree there stuff after And Justice For All sucks. I do like their version of Whiskey in the jar and Stone Cold Crazy but that's it. Randy Rhoads would have been an icon if he had lived, though he's reached some sort of that type of status in death. E.V.H. created a style of play that many guitarists tried to copy, including Vai, but didn't quite get there. By Satriani I like One big rush, Surfing with the alien, and Summer song as well as a few slower songs like Rubina and Flying in a blue dream. He has beautiful licks. I didn't mention Stevie Ray Vaughn in this group because he didn't use speed as a style but he could play fast when he wanted plus he could work an acoustic guitar as well as anybody I've ever heard. He was heavily influenced by Hendrix.

This is why I said Hedrix was ahead of his time and yes I believe the live experience always adds something to the listening experience. He was a visionary and that contributed to his success as much as anything. Without the wah-wah pedals, whammy bars, and effects he would have been an ordinary guitarist. In an odd way his death also helped his legacy. Same with Morrison, I love the Doors.

I think the Pistols were nothing more than a loud/shock value band and were not near as musically talented as they're given credit for. In the punk rock scene they are legends but compared to real talented musicians like Queen, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Journey, (Neil Schon is another underrated guitarist), and many other bands/musicians they are weak. I've seen AC/DC live in 1993 and Angus is a live wire on stage. Bon was there better singer.

[virginfantasy]

the pistols, to me, at least, were a sad excuse for a band.
OMG you saw ac/dc??:O
no........!!..........ive been waiting 4 years to see them! ill sell everything to see them oh dear lord!
and bon is my hero i love him like a father.

I didn't get to see Bon, he was dead 15 years before I saw AC/DC. They're a good show. I think Angus does a few lines before going on stage. :D Though I will have to say that Paul McCartney, Pink Floyd, and The Rolling Stones are the best concerts I've seen but AC/DC was damn good. ;)

I saw AC/DC twice in Paris. Last time it was for the 'Razor Edge' tour. Yeah Angus gives 200% of himself on stage and I think even someone who doesn't like them would leave the show thinking 'what a crazy guitar player' where is that energy coming from ? Watching the 'Let there be rock' live video, I think I know the answer. Angus was breathing pure oxygen to keep himself going by the end of show. I don't think he's doing hard drugs but peraphs he needs some chemic help sometimes. Let's indulge him, he gives so much on stage it makes you feel like it is larger than life, and he's only human.

Well; I hope you are patient. It takes them 4-5 years to come up with something new today. Sad but true....another legendary band running out of inspiration. To me everything they did after 'The razor edge' was bad. ANd now that all planes are meant to blow up in the air....they'll probably think it is better to remain with the kangourous. :)

[shysnale]

This is pretty much one of the most intensive lead solo I ever heard :

Done by Marty Friedman, playing in Megadeth by the time.

AC/DC has been working on an album this year; 2006. They are scheduled to do a world tour this year and probably into next year. So be patient and they'll be around soon.

Wouldn't really say they are being given credit for being good musicians, just for putting punk on the map. In the next several decades I think people will look more favorably on the Clash, and in particular "London Calling". Very technical and developed for punk music. A must-have in any real music fan's collection.

I agree Rheo, the Pistols are given credit for putting punk on the map. Though I have always thought that the Ramones and the Clash were right there with them. People might want to check out the Runaways; female punk band that had Lita Ford and Joan Jett in it. They did Black Leather with the Pistols. Now I'm not saying they were, are, or should be considered one of the visionary punk bands but they were one of the first all female bands, to my knowledge. Hello daddy, Hello mom.

did you know that angus doesnt drink?:P
just a random tidbit.

[gal4]

Yeah, you wanna know another tidbit? Heh, go here.

G.G. Allin (http://www.vh1.com/artists/az/allin_g_g_/bio.jhtml)

[virginfantasy]

hmm sadly i never heard of him:(

another tidbit!!:P~~~
bon's real name was ronald belford scott and he was born july 9th, 1946, in scotland. he moved to australia when he was........11, if i remember correctly? there he joined Fraternity and the Valentines AND got rejected from the australian army before joining ac/dc after their 1st singer, dave evans, missed a show and they got fed up with his glam looks.

haha i went too far i think *blushes*

yes i know my ac/dc trivia and i challenge people all the time on it ahaha:P

[Sodoman]

Virgin, G.G. Allen was a sick mother fucker! No talent, unless you consider shitting himself onstage and eating it a talent. He died of a herion overdose in 1993 or somewhere around that time. Thankfully and mercifully sparing us all from his dumbass. Yes the gross part I mentioned is true! When someone told him to eat shit he took it literally! :rolleyes: :p :eek: No offense towards you Gal. Just that I've seen a documentary on him; and the religous people always say everyone's got a purpose in life, well what the fuck was his?

[gal4]

In the end, yeah, talent or no talent, is really of no concern.
The record companies made money, selling the hype.

As the old sales selling adage is "Sell the sizzle, not the steak."

I was underage when I went to Allin's show. But who gives a shit?

Been to several lunatic fringe Rap, What Power Rock, and Techno "concerts".

Something to do I guess, something to do.

Like the saying in the movie, "Now, that you are dead, what are you going to do with the rest of your life?" Maybe ask God for a refund?

[virginfantasy]

oh yes! now i know!! ive read about him before i didnt remember his name though haha
thats sick!!
ive heard of some nasty things before, like zep's bonzo shitting in a groupie's shoe and her thanking him for it, but-EATING it??*gags*

[TheOpportunist]

I agree Rheo, the Pistols are given credit for putting punk on the map. Though I have always thought that the Ramones and the Clash were right there with them.
Of course, Iggy Pop had been there and done that years before any of them.

Angus never drinks ? Maybe but he smokes anyway..saw him smoking several times on tv interviews. It's funny you said Bon went from scotland to australia. Are you sure you're not mistaking him with the young familly ? I mean I heard exactly the same story about angus ² malcolm familly, they were living in scottland ans then moved to australia......They were a musician's familly. Angus was kind of immerged in the music since he was born.....I remember him telling the story about his school uniform. He said it was his real uniform. He hated school & was called to the principal office every second day because they saw him smoking at the school entrance and stuff....then his sister said to him 'why don't you wear that uniform on stage ?' He said 'Yeah great'. And that famous wellknowed school reputation went down pretty fast. Well, that's what he said anyway....

[virginfantasy]

yeah, angus and malcolm emigrated to australia in 1962. bon WAS born in scotland too. and yeah angus and malcolm are both heavy smokers, thats not hidden!!:P
yes they were musicians-george young was in the easybeats and eventually produced most of ac/dc's records with former easybeats buddy, harry vanda.
yep! after school angus would go right to music practice without changing. so his sister margaret decided to make him more outfits to wear onstage cause she thought itd be a real good image.

and if bon WAS born in australia, youd think he'd have an...australian accent, right?
trust me i know what im talking about lol:P

Yes *gags* but I think the Zeppelin stories are just that mostly storiies and rumors; not saying they didn't do some wild shit but I think it was probaly mostly to do with drugs and sex with women. I know that Allin did his stuff because he did it onstage. Also seen several interviews with different musicians who said they had the displeasure of seeing his show.

[shysnale]

Who is exactly that new guy we see everywhere today ? What's his name...Pete Dokerty...Pete Doherty maybe....you know the one who dated Kate Moss, maybe had a baby with her, and then she divorced him because he was a bad influence for the baby early years...I think he has a band...cant remember the name...is that punk/rock ?

I love the 'Destroying hotel rooms' ritual.
All real rock musicians should celebrate that tradition.
I remember an old video from a paparazzi, he was filming Mick Jagger and Ron Wood on a fifth floor hotel room balcony, about to throw the tv in the street. They were gigling and hesitating, it was so funny.

lol. I always thought Angus got a lot of style, but Malcolm, hmmmmmmmm maybe it's just me, but I don't find him very good looking...This remembers me I used to tell all my friends Angus was the first one to do that famous step on stage, you know when he's moving on just one foot, balancing the other, and my friend prooved me I was wrong by showing me an ancestral blanck and white Chuck Berry video where you could see him doing that step.

What's your favotire AC/DC song ? Mine is Highway to Hell's 'Touch Too Much'. I could really get high just listening to it.

[Sodoman]

I don't have any one favorite but a few of my preferred choices are: Let there be rock, Rocker, Problem Child, Live Wire, Shot of Love(Brian Johnson), If you want blood you got it, get it hot, Jailbreak, Can I sit next to you girl, Big Balls, Heatseeker(Brian Johnson), I've got an early-to-mid 70's video of Angus and Malcom onstage with the Rolling Stones doing a song called "Rock me baby" It's really good.

-and the zeppelin shark story is still one of those tales where no one knows for sure if it happened. yes, they were shark fishing off the balcony of the hotel, but no one knows for sure if they really stuck a shark in a groupie's.......love box. there's a book my brother stole from the library (LOL!) called "stairway to heaven", by a guy named richard cole. but its unauthorized. talks about that incident in there, but the band has said some of the things in the book arent true.
